I hate to say it, but the Pi is probably the only good option for a cheap (well, MSRP) ARM SBC with okayish software support. A lot of these no-name companies that produce ARM SBCs give them basically zero software support (save for maybe a buggy build of Debian or something) and expect the community do all the work. Have you checked out any x86 SBCs? The Rock Pi X is like $60 USD.

Looks like Rock Pi X has also been a victim of the chip/parts shortage: https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiX

I've been thinking about wetting my feet with homelabbing a k8s cluster with used OptiPlex workstations. I wonder if Pi's will actually come back in stock or if some other SBC will eventually rise up and start eating away at the Pi's market share.
